Treasures of Yesteryear

The simplicity 
Unlocked windows... unlocked doors
Kids playing outside
Old school rhythm and blues groove
The community village

Christmas time is here;
Full of holiday cheer;
Yet, I long for yesteryear,
When my children all were near…
In my eggnog drips a tear.

Ageing

Staring at frayed picture of yesteryear
An old man lives with strangers
His caring son and wife

     The old ways not to spurn

     Resist change at every turn

Spring of Wine

I touched its soul
Me--the spring of wine
in one glass of yesteryear
where the God drinks the mystery
without hate
without wars
for a new History

A tear forms in my mind’s eye,
Sins of yesteryear rear their head.
Dismiss thoughts of guilt as I cry,
A tear for friends now long dead.

Yesteryear

Oh the dreams of yesteryear,
times,places, things,and people,
that once, were close and near.

Now they are just a memory,
locked forever in the pages,
of history.

The Mother Road

East to West.
Pieces
of history
rise up,
welcoming
the wheels of many.

Dreams
of yesteryear
forge new memories
as adventurers
return
to Mother’s call.

old faded polaroid~
the memory of yesteryear
distant and discolored
snapshot of a past
vague but not forgotten

Premium Member Yesterday

My grandparents talk 
about things that happened yesterday 
but do they really mean yesterday?
 or should they say 
that's from the past 
it's history 
yesteryear or
 yore?

Ideology Human Alienation

Ideology
penetrates the skull...
alien missile,
strange...
Is a parrot that repeats 
voices of yesteryear
to muster herd...
Strong lie
to form minions
to lick boots
of rogues, humans...

Premium Member regrets of yesteryear

we stood alone
that's how hunger works

we craved attention
a little praise

when i think back
we could have banded

we could have been strong
but we didn't

Peace

Ever so beautiful
Exceptionally great
Goodness evolving 
Purified slate
Words uplifting
Positively sincere
Brighter future
From yesteryear
Carry on
Stay strong
Live long
Peace on
Earth.

to my poet peers,
in this PS sphere;
where many shed a tear
with  talk of yesteryear;
Few puns do I hear !
so please my reader dear
p'raps you'll give a steer
& bring a smile near

Premium Member A Patchwork Pastiche

Illusions,symbols of childhood,
coloured filled swathes of painterly
hues.A  private fantasy in slow
motion suspended in space.An
abstracted blur in flashbacks of
yesteryear,caught in a daydream.

Pastel Dreams

Pastel dreams of yesteryear 
Smile and don’t shed a tear
Strength for you foretold
Days together will not get old
Crystal clear can’t you see
Know that your memories are free.
